What we collect
OperantConditioning.com is a static website. It does not use cookies, does not require an account, does not include third-party tracking scripts, and does not collect personal information from visitors. Interactive tools on the site (the quadrant finder, the virtual Skinner box, the schedule simulator, the quiz, and the contingency builder) run entirely in your browser and do not send data anywhere. The contingency builder saves what you type in your own browser's local storage so it is still there when you come back; it never leaves your device, and the tool's Clear button erases it.
Server logs
Like virtually all websites, the hosting provider that serves this site may keep standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps) for security and operational purposes. These are retained only as long as the provider's policy requires and are not used to identify individual visitors.
Links to other sites
Every page carries a standard apple-itunes-app meta tag, which lets Safari on iPhone and iPad show Apple's own App Store banner for the Operant app. No script or image is loaded for it; the banner is drawn by Safari, and tapping it takes you to the App Store under Apple's privacy policy. The homepage embeds three videos from YouTube (a TED-Ed lesson and two television clips); nothing is requested from YouTube until you press play, after which Google's privacy policy applies to the player (it is loaded from youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain).
If you email us, we keep your message and address only as long as needed to respond.
Changes
If we ever add analytics or other data collection, this page will be updated first.
